But that's just me.
Flaws are inherent when man is involved. Contradictory is dependent upon how you are looking at it. People will see what they choose to see, for good or bad. It is the same for every religion and their texts. The fact that there is an effort to overgeneralize whenever these discussions come up, on every side of the debate, shows how little effort is actually being put into engaging in civil discourse about the topic. Thus the commentary about denigration.
